This may certify that Sam l Fuller of A. reg t has in my opinion an Eurygema on his Breast there is a Protuberance scabious & it will discharge outwardly some time Hence when probably it will be a conside- rable time before he will recover if he should live thro' it so that there is no prospect of his being fit for duty for some months if ever

Dr Sir
I have rec d a note from you say- ing the papers of Widow Lydia Fuller has been examined & filed and that you allow only 7 months I regret you should be compelled by your rules so that Conclusion as I have no doubt he was in the Service at various times between two and three years The difficulty in the case is that she is unable to recollect the names of her husband, officers she is unable to bring positive proof of the length of service at various times and can only do it by his declaration in his life time as is stated in Sylvester Fuller's affidavit I can furnish abund- ant proof of the good character of Samuel Fuller his widow Sylvester Fuller indeed I can say without hesitation I do not believe a family can be found in the United States of a more unblemished moral character than this family
Please forward a certificate for as much time as you can allow
Yours Respectfully
